This ground has been covered many times in the past and it is apparent that you are subscribing to one of the most pervasive myths in surfing.

No, you are wrong. when taking off, the wave pushes the tail higher, the elongated tail means you are trying to maximize this effect. its totally absurd that you don't understand this. do you not understand your own board? During the ride, the tail is still being pushed upwards while riding straight infront or along the face.
I am now convinced that you dont understand your own board. which is probably why you are here carrying on like a kid....

I agree... and if he does come to meet you, Im coming with my long board too.. and Roy, I'll smoke your a$$ down the line.

Nice, i'll be looking forward to you sitting WAAAAY outside and then taking his legs out as he drops in on you ever so slowly on his lincoln log. Just make sure you bring a helmet, can't have his 100lb piece of sh*t i mean timber knocking you out cold because he doesn't know how to hardly stand up without falling all over himself.

I don't make 100 pound surfboards.

Speaking of falling over, here's a long time local 'enforcer' doing just that on the first wave.

99.9lbs, you're right, but who's counting? BTW, you already posted this stupid video a few pages back and all I see is you dropping in some poor guy and then wrecklessly trying to stay standing as you weave through a group of people.

Clearly wave lift has occurred with every wave ever ridden, that is where the majority of the energy which moves them comes from.. I've already said that several times.

You were talking about the wave pushing the board and rider, which is usually taken to mean in a horizontal fashion.
